Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tractatus De Officio Regis The De Oficio Regir follows immediately upon the D: E laid as the eighth book of Wyclif's great S umma. Its object as declared by Wyclif in his opening sen tence is to treat of the Military Order as in the De Etc-laid he had treated of the Clerical, and in especial to declare what is the office of a King, and what are the relations between the royal power and the sacerdotal. In the marginal analysis an attempt has been made to summarize Wyclif's successive arguments in detail: it may be profitable here to endeavour to epitomize on somewhat broader lines the arrangement and teaching of the work as a whole.
